- “After several years of elevated borrowing costs, seeing interest rates dip into the 5.0%- range again is an encouraging signal for buyers,” said Chris Atwell, 2026 president of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association. “When you combine lower rates with homes spending more time on the market, buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in years. This environment fosters opportunities to negotiate on price, request seller-paid closing costs, and ultimately find the right home at a pace and structure that gives buyers confidence in their decision. Conversely, a downward trajectory of mortgage rates will likely bring more buyers activating into the market as housing becomes more attainable. Increased demand with similar supply eventually shifts the advantage back to the sellers.”
